The rapid development of Information Technologies gives rise to new professions and the labour market is calling for ever more people with technical skills, while the importance and value of education is growing. On the international scale, the level of social advancement is assessed by the quality of human resources, specifi cally the educational level of the population. A society is considered the more educated, the fewer the people who are lacking education and the more the people who have the highest, i.e. tertiary-level education.
